Constants Variables
y = f(x)
Where:
f = indicates that a function exists between variables x and y.
f(x) = is read as “f of x’
FUNCTIONS
Using the given variables, translate the following statements into a functional
notations. Identify Independent and dependent variables.
a. The pressure P inside a pressure cooker is dependent on the temperature T.
Solution: P = f(T); T is the Independent variable while P is the Dependent Variable
f(x) = 2x – 3.
Example: f(x) = 2x – 3. Find
g(-1) = (-1) 2 – 4.
= 1- 4.
= -3.
Evaluate g(t) = t2 – 4, when g(t+2).
g(t+2) = t2 – 4.
= (t + 2) 2 – 4. = (t + 2) 2
=t2
1. The first term is the square of the first term in the Binomial:
= t 2 + (t*2*2) + 2 2 - 4.
= t2 + 4t + 22 – 4.
= t2 + 4t + 4 – 4.
= t2 + 4t .

SPECIAL PRODUCTS
The Square of a Binomial is the square if the first term plus (or minus) twice the
product of the two terms plus the square of the last term.

The Cube of a Binomial
Example: (2x + 5) 3
First term: The cube of the first term =
Second Term: Three times the product of the square of the first term and the
2nd term = 3 * (2x) 2 * 5
Third Term: Three times the products of the first term and the square of the 2 nd
term = 3 * 2x * 5 2 =
Fourth Term: The cube of the 2nd Term.

For the function y = f(x), we call the set from which we take the values of the
independent variables x the domain of the function. The set of all possible values of y
as x varies over the domain is called the range of the function.

CASE 2 The set of values of real numbers between a and b including the
end points..

NOTE. That every value of x, the value of function is equal to 5 and the
graph is a straight line parallel to the x – axis.
Example:
Sketch the graph of the function g (x ) = x.
Solution:
Step 1. For x = -2, -1, 0, 1 and 2, the function of values are as follows:
g ( -2) = -2. g (0) = 0. g (2) = 2.

NOTE. The function of x is equal to itself and the graph is a diagonal line
that divides the first and the third quadrants.
Example:
Sketch the graph of the function
Solution:
Step 1. When x is positive the value of the function is itself. When x is
negative, we multiply b -1.
